Chapter 258 Blood Relations
When Lu Huailin carried Hao Hao back to the living room, he found the house quiet and empty.
"Wife, wife."
He called out as he walked toward the bedroom, pushed open the door, and saw his wife sitting on the bed with red eyes.
My heart skipped a beat
Why is his wife crying?
Without thinking twice, Jiang Haohao immediately put the toy on the mat on the ground, and pulled it in front of him so he could play with it by himself.
After settling Hao Hao in, he quickly walked to his wife, bent down, and carefully cupped her face in his hands.
Looking into her eyes, he asked anxiously, "Wife, who bullied you?"
He was only gone for half an hour. Could someone have come to their house and bullied his wife during that time?
Did you quarrel with Grandma Gu again?
Lu Huailin was lost in his own wild speculations.
Following Lu Huailin's movement, Gu Yihan raised her head and looked at him for a moment.
Suddenly, the pent-up frustration in my heart had an outlet.
Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string, all at once.
Lu Huailin hurriedly reached out to wipe away his wife's tears, but then remembered that his hands were calloused from years of training.
He could only gently wipe away her tears with his back while whispering comforting words, "Wife, who bullied you? Tell me, and I'll stand up for you."
Lu Huailin's attempts to comfort Gu Yihan only made things worse. Gu Yihan's sobs echoed throughout the bedroom as she choked out, "Waaah... Grandma, Grandma is leaving."
Hao Hao, who was sitting on the mat building blocks, was stunned for a moment when he heard Gu Yihan crying. He then whispered, "Mom."
"Leaving? Where to?"
Lu Huailin didn't understand what his wife meant at first, but seeing her crying so sadly, he asked her in a low voice.
While crying, Gu Yihan picked up a tissue from the bedside table and wiped her snotty nose.
With a sob in her voice, she said, "She's going to take care of Gu Mengsheng and won't be staying at our house anymore."
Lu Huailin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then sat down next to his wife, turned to the side and lifted her up with a force, letting her sit on his lap.
He patted her back, thought for a moment, and said, "Wife, are you sad because Grandma is leaving?"
Gu Yihan did not reply immediately.
After about ten minutes, she gradually stopped crying, having released most of the pent-up emotions in her heart.
She rested her head on Lu Huailin's shoulder, her voice thick with emotion, and choked out, "Not entirely."
"And Hao Hao, he's still so young, he needs someone to take care of him."
"Once Grandma leaves, there will be no one to take care of Hao Hao."
After hearing his wife's words, Lu Huailin turned his gaze to Hao Hao, who was playing with his toys.
He suddenly chuckled softly, lowered his head to kiss his wife's forehead, and whispered, "Just for this? Is it worth you crying your eyes out?"
"I thought you were jealous because Grandma Gu was taking care of someone else."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan's expression froze.
When Lu Huailin saw his wife's facial expression, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Suppressing a laugh, he deliberately asked, "Honey, you're not really angry or jealous, are you?"
Gu Yihan turned her head away shyly: "Grandma clearly knows that Gu Meng and I don't get along."
"In order to serve Gu Meng, Grandma even neglected Hao Hao, whom she had raised since he was a child."
Furthermore, she had truly been devoted to Grandma Gu, yet she suddenly took the initiative to take care of Gu Meng.
Gu Yihan felt betrayed by the person closest to her.
Upon hearing this, Lu Huailin sighed; his thoughts differed from Gu Yihan's.
“Wife, Grandma is an adult and has the ability to think independently.”
"When she offered to take care of Gu Meng during childbirth, she must have thought it through carefully."
Gu Yihan lowered her head and remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
"What about Hao Hao?"
When Hao Hao heard his mother call his name, he thought she was calling him over, so he put his hands on the mat and stood up.
Walking to Lu Huailin's side, he hugged Gu Yihan's legs, looked up, and called out in his childish voice, "Mommy, don't cry."
When Gu Yihan saw that even a child as young as Hao Hao knew how to comfort her, her nose tingled and she felt like crying again.
She patted Lu Huailin on the shoulder, signaling him to put her down.
Lu Huailin glanced at the little brat clinging to his wife's leg, glared at him, and noticed that he was everywhere.
He said, "There's a nursery in the army. The tuition is five yuan a month."
"We can send Hao Hao over there."
Seeing that Lu Huailin was still holding her tightly, Gu Yihan pried his hands off and jumped down.
She bent down, picked up Hao Hao, kissed his smooth cheek, and sighed, "Children's skin is so good."
It's as tender as a peeled egg.
Are military daycare centers reliable?
Lu Huailin frowned slightly upon hearing his wife's hoarse voice.
She stood up, walked to the living room, poured Gu Yihan a glass of honey water, and then carried the glass back to the bedroom.
He began by saying, "The caregivers who look after the children are military dependents."
"They were trained by the military medical team before taking up their posts and can monitor the children's physical condition at all times."
After saying that, he took Hao Hao from her arms, pointed to the honey water on the dressing table, and instructed, "Drink some water to soothe your throat."
Gu Yihan nodded and hummed in agreement.
I walked to the dressing table, picked up the cup, and carefully tested the water temperature with my lips. It was just right, neither too hot nor too cold.
He tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Wife, are you feeling better?" Lu Huailin asked Gu Yihan softly.
Gu Yihan looked up at Lu Huailin and Hao Hao, who was staring with wide eyes, and smiled slightly: "Much better."
Lu Huailin smiled and nodded, saying, "Since Grandma wants to go to Gu Meng's place..."
"Let's send her off happily tomorrow, so she won't have to worry about us."
"Mmm," Hu Yihan responded softly.
Even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do if Grandma Gu did not agree to stay in the family compound.
On the other side
Grandma Gu couldn't sleep. Lying in bed, she was lost in thought, thinking about how she, a woman who was practically on her deathbed, was being threatened by a younger generation.
If she backs down this time, Gu Meng will use these leverages to force her to compromise time and time again.
She didn't want to stay at Gu Meng's house, didn't want to take care of her during her postpartum period, and didn't want to be controlled by the other party.
He couldn't think of a good way to get rid of Gu Meng.
Suddenly, a thousand ideas to punish Gu Meng flashed through Grandma Gu's mind, but after all, she was her own granddaughter.
That slight blood relation overcame the malice that arose in her heart; she couldn't be as ruthless as the other person.
